Organizational Context

The Global Infrastructure Section is responsible for managing UNHCR’s global portfolio of facilities and premises, ensuring that infrastructure systems and services effectively support operations worldwide. Reliable, well-governed, and integrated data are critical enablers of this mandate, supporting planning, investment decisions, performance monitoring, and accountability.
Since its inception in 2023, the UNIFIER facilities data initiative has grown significantly in scope and strategic importance. As demand for data-driven decision-making has increased across Country Operations, Regional Bureaux, and Headquarters, the need for timely, accurate, and analytically robust facilities data has become increasingly critical. The ongoing integration of UNIFIER with corporate platforms such as C-ERP, Workday, and enterprise analytics tools under the Business Transformation Program (BTP) has further expanded the complexity of the infrastructure data landscape, while creating new opportunities to generate actionable insights on costs, space utilization, and infrastructure performance.

Role Purpose

Under the guidance of the Land and Building Officer, the Associate Infrastructure Business Analyst supports the Global Infrastructure Section by bridging facilities systems, business requirements, and data analytics. The role contributes to the effective operation of facilities systems, supports enterprise data integration, and translates UNHCR's infrastructure/ real estate portfolio business needs into structured data and analytical outputs that inform global decision-making.
